CMLL Gaceta previews tonight’s Arena Mexico card, headlined by La Sombra vs Volador Jr. for the 2013 Reyes del Aire. Volador has won this tournament 3 times, but not in recent years. Sombra has never won, but was only in one prior to this year. Sombra has a recent title win over Dragon Rojo in Japan and a title defense over Mephisto in Guadalajara. Volador has been good form in matches, but not so much in results.

I’m overlooking a Mascara vs Volador Guadalajara match in there, and those loses were preceded by wins over Diamante Azul and La Sombra. Still, Volador could really use a win and I figure he’ll find a way.

The Ultimo Guerrero vs Atlantis, Amapola vs Estrellita and Namajague vs Stuka (without the other two) feuds continue on in undercard matches. Still looking for clarity about which, if any, of this matches will resolve at Dos Leyendas (which doesn’t have an announced date.)

AAA announced Rey de Reyes 2013 will take place on March 17th in Monterrey. No venue is announced; they’ve run major shows in Arena Monterrey and TV tapings in Arena Coliseo Monterrey. The next TV taping for AAA is in Irapuato this Monday, and they should be laying out the major matches for Rey de Reyes at that time. The recent Daga, Dark Dragon vs Fenix, Drago match in Arena Coliseo Monterrey ended with Fenix beating Daga and the two agreeing to a Cruiserweight title match ‘next time they’re in Monterrey’, which felt more locked in than the usual post match challenge. Fenix has since pinned Daga on AAA TV, so they may be headed to that title match (though AAA cruiserweight matches tend to include many more people to dilute the action.)

(This has nothing to do with anything except trying to figure out who else they’d thrown in – but Jack Evans hasn’t been around since Guerra de Titanes. He’s been on lineups, but I have no results or TV appearances for him.)

AAA Fusion aired the second part of the combined show with WAVE, featuring the Reina de Reinas final between Kaguya and Sexi Star, and an atomicos with Pimpinela, Lolita and a very emotional Fenix.
